India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is advancing its defense capabilities by developing particle beam weapons through its Centre for High Energy Systems and Sciences (CHESS). This cutting-edge technology aims to engage various targets with remarkable precision and speed, positioning India alongside nations like the U.S., Russia, and China in the realm of directed energy weapons. By utilizing high-energy particle beams, these weapons can potentially disable electronic systems and neutralize missiles, enhancing India’s strategic defense posture. The initiative reflects India’s commitment to modernization under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative, promising significant tactical advantages in future warfare scenarios while also being cost-effective.
